Surrogate organs stand in for lung tumors during fluoroscopic tracking
By Kathlyn Stone
Working from the premise that other more visible anatomic features move in concert with lung tumors, researchers have developed a computer algorithm that uses these visible features as tumor stand-ins. In a feasibility study, the method localized the tumor position to an accuracy of within 1 mm and 2.5 mm.
